My Nonprofit Reviews

The Millennium Project is a global non-profit association that has been fundamental in contributing to the introduction in Chile of strategic foresight and futures studies, in the academic and public sector fields. In 2007, the Chile Node was created, chaired by Prof. Héctor Casanueva, during the visit of Jerome Glenn, Miguel Ángel Gutiérrez and Luis Ragno, from Argentina and José Cordeiro from Venezuela. On that occasion, a seminar was held with the Ministry of Planning, the 2007 edition of the State of the Future was presented in Spanish, and a meeting was held with the president of the Senate and former president of Chile, Eduardo Frei, during which it was raised the proposal to create a "Future Commission" in the Senate, like the one in Finland. With Senator Guido Girardi, president of the created "Commission of the Future" the Node collaborated in the launch of the international event "Congress of the Future" in 2011, which is held annually and is now in its 11th version. The activities of the MP have continued to date, with seminars, publications and contributed to the creation of the Chilean Council for Prospective and Strategy. Likewise, the Node contributes to disseminating the studies and proposals of the MP, and has recently contributed to proposing to the UN SG the creation of an Office of Strategic Threats.
